The Day After

Well we are on day 2 of recovery from the surgery. Courtney had a rough time getting her pain under control. We had to switch out some of her medication because the epidural wasn't working like it should have been. She is not on a medication that is similar to Morphine and it is helping a lot.
She was able to see her dad and his family, her sister, my family and a couple of my friends yesterday. I am sure she would have liked the company more if she had been more comfortable.

By the time I got back to the hospital around 10 pm she was finally sleeping and stable. I stayed with her last night and she had slept through the entire night. This morning when I left she was a little fussy so the nurse re-positioned her and gave her some Valium to help with the spasms in her back from the healing process.

I feel so blessed that she was able to get through the surgery and is doing well.
She is supposed to come home Saturday so I have been trying to get everything ready for her there while moving her out of the care center that she was in. We are excited to get back to life!
